PERFECT. As an Office Manager that is involved in events and manage expectation - basically a control freak - from the actual booking, menu changes and the actual day could not have been any better. Clearly you have done this before as being welcomed by name to our seats and the waiting staff were so kind and nothing was too much trouble - we had Barry - was such a good laugh and I even got a hug from him - we certainly seemed to hit it off. Please don't change a thing - now what else can I celebrate?!
Life should always be this way! A birthday gift from my son - York to Edinburgh on the Northern Belle. How lucky am I!! From receiving the tickets in a beautiful holder with information to alighting back in York the experience was simply delightful.

Ladies Day at Royal Ascot - Just a fantastic day out - the service food and entertainment on the train was excellent. Can not recommend enough!

Travelled with a friend from Leicester for afternoon tea aboard Chatsworth carriage. Service was excellent both in our carriage and in the lovely little shop. Food was delicious and served at a leisurely pace so we never felt rushed and we were able to enjoy the changing views as we travelled. We had a fabulous day out and look forward to travelling again soon!

We have been on the Northern Belle a few times now and every experience is as good as the last. I would highly recommend going on any of the trips if you get the opportunity. The train itself is fantastic and all of the staff are really friendly, with nothing being too much trouble for them. We are already booking for next year.

We were spoiled from start to finish. What a fantastic excursion. We took the Northern Belle from Manchester for a firework display in Grange over Sands. Dave and Charlotte looked after us with exemplary service in a beautiful Duart carriage. The entertainment was lovely and the fireworks spectacular.

What a treat this was, everything was just perfect, the ambience, the food and the service. We were seated with a charming couple, I was apprehensive about this when the tickets came and I found my daughter and I were sharing a table with others. It was also great fun not knowing where we were going. If you love good food and train travel this should definitely be on your bucket list.
